Postdoctoral Researcher

Centre national de la recherche scientifique

Oct 2019 - May 2022

2 years 8 months

Toulouse, France

Modelling climate extremes with convection permitting models as well as statistical approaches. I am currently focusing on modelling lightning hazards. In addition, I have been modelling tropical cyclones over la Reunion island

Post-doctoral researcher

Goethe University

May 2013 - Oct 2019

6 years 6 months

Frankfurt, Germany

I was modeling climate extremes with convection-permitting models and advanced statistical downscaling techniques. In addition, I have developed a tracking precipitation tool allowing to enhances our understanding of convective precipitation event. This tool also helped us predict related convective hazards such as hail, wind gusts, or lightning. Finally, an essential part of my work at the Goethe university was to teach. Teaching subjects ranged from climatology to scientific programming.
